RANGERRAB

It's called 'Jobs for the Boys'. Rangers is & always has been rife with this. If you're a 'Rangers man' then you get the job regardless of whether there's someone better. Classic example was McCoist becoming Rangers manager. No one would seriously suggest he was best candidate would they?

And we get people on here saying put these youngsters in our first team............................

McCoist now showing his true colours.All that talk about not walking away in 2012 was only ever about one thing - MONEY. He got found out big style as a manager and is now determined to get every last penny out of Rangers from an exorbitant contract he should never have got in the first place.He will never get another manager's job anywhere and he knows it.And the TV career's over too probably. Great Rangers man ? No longer in my book he's not unless he does as King not unreasonably requests him to do in respect of the money he's earned from Rangers over the years.

The biggest decision which lies ahead for King, Murray, Gilligan & Park is the first team manager's appointment. They simply must not get it wrong. Whoever gets it will have the responsibility or bringing in half a dozen or so new players in the summer. They must all be of a standard which can drastically improve the team. No easy feat.

PM & AJ were certainly definitive at the time IIRC

Whether it was in place or not their inaction is something I will never be able to comprehend. They were well warned about Whyte & did nothing

Pity they didn't use it before Whyte got Rangers then. Or did they deliberately not apply it to Whyte? After all the SFA were well-warned about Whyte were they not?

And of course he never got anything in return from a serving ROI PM did he? Nothing at all Someone also told me there's a club being investigated by Audit Scotland at the moment? Surely not! Something about a training ground

Is Dermot Desmond FAPP ?

The SFA could not prevent King sitting on the Rangers board because had they refused him he'd have pursued them in a court of law and almost certainly he'd have won.I congratulate him on his appointment. I hope we can now move on and rebuild Rangers as he says. Big decisions lie ahead for sure. The team manager's position needs sorted out and the quality of the first team squad needs drastically improved from what we've currently got. That will take serious money to do so. I hope Mr King honours his promises and can provide that funding because Rangers need to start getting things right both on and off the park if we're to have any chance of returning to where we ought to be which is not outside the top tier of Scottish football

His tactics are also awful at times. When we play teams going 3-5-2 we need to match their 5 in MF otherwise we can get outnumbered & over run in MF. Yesterday we were back to the old tried & failed 4-4-2 with two strikers up front who were both absolutely dreadful and should both have been subbed long before the end. hibz will probably play 3-5-2 on wednesday. McCall must be prepared for that and set out his tactics accordingly

Astonishing we're discussing Vuckic. Just how bad were Clark & Miller today? Both truly awful. Clark's control is non existent & constantly loses possession. Miller is player well past his best who should be nowhere the first team. Both of them must be ditched for wednesday.

The idea that the BBC are under-paying for its SPFL coverage is just laughable

We need to build bridges with all the major clubs in this country & convince them to ditch Liewell and his appointed placemen such as Rhegan, Dumbcaster, Topping etc.

You need to get the right people running the game in this country for starters.People who can get better TV deals and sponsorship deals and not like that pathetic ladbrokes one last week paying peanuts. That means no Dumbcaster, Rhegan, Topping plus Liewell and his chums. Since Rangers left the top division the yahoos have all but taken over appointing their own people in to run things with the aim of keeping the yahoos at the top. The recent yahoo-supporting SFA director was a prime example. Never heard of the guy and he'll achieve the square root of hee-haw at the SFA.

Well let's get shot off SKY and get someone else. Oh wait wee Roger Mitchell(remember him?) tried that when he was head honcho at the SPL. How did that work out again? He even made Dumbcaster & Rhegan look semi-competent

Whether you like it or not it's because they're in the EPL they get the TV money. And I dont recall these fixtures being live ones on TV but I may be wrong

Face facts - Scottish football only has one fixture which can be sold to an audience out side Scotland. And the halfwits who decided to remove Rangers from the top division three years ago need to accept their responsibility for the continuing demise of Scottish football. Topping, Dumbcaster & Rhegan for starters.Then Liewell and his cronies. Not long after Rangers got sent to SFL3 the president of La Liga was asked what would happen if either Barcelona or Real Madrid got kicked out the top Division & he said it would never happen purely for commercial reasons alone. Yet we have buffoons who spout their 'sporting integrity' nonsense while the game disintegrates into oblivion. FWIW i am no supporter of the BBC but they are absolutely spot on with this to pay what they believe to be the correct market rate for the flawed Scottish football product. If Topping doesnt like their valuation he can always get someone else to replace the BBC. He'll have a long wait

Rebuild damaged relations with the SFA ? Did they(along with the SPL) not cause this by instigating the title-stripping & all the rest of the nonsense? And did they assume guilt over the EBT's? And the transfrer embargo ? And what did they do about Whyte? Until Rhegan & Liewell are removed from office there can be no rebuilding of relations with this organisation

He has a lot to live up to would you not agree? The unyielding faith a large section of our support seem to have in him amazes me

I'll be happy if he keeps to his promises.

Nothing to do with it. I just do not see why he is subject to such SFA scrutiny.I am extremely sceptical of the SFA run by Rhegan. And, yes, now you mention it if he passes this FAPP it is time to deliver. Serious investment is needed in the summer.Can he provide it & how much?

FWIW I'm extremely disappointed Murray & King even agreed to this FAPP test by that great upstanding body of honesty & integrity called the SFA(stop laughing) run by the likes of RHegan, Liewell, Petrie etc. They should just have taken their places on the board & if the SFA wanted to do anything about it they should have taken them to court. Why was Murray subject to this anyway? He had absolutely nothing to do with the administration/liquidation which were the the actions of Whyte alone. Everyone knows that. Even Rhegan who was well aware what Whyte was up to but did nothing whatsoever

If so it would be an oldco problem

No Rangers in top division = very poor Sponsorship & TV deals Very simples
